Everyone who owns a registered vehicle under 7,500 kg must pay an annual motor vehicle tax. Invoices for this vehicle tax are sent out annually in February. Invoices are sent to the person who owned the vehicle as at 1 January.

Do not combine several invoices

You cannot pay tax for several vehicles with the same invoice. You can also not pay tax for several years on the same invoice.

Invoice directly to your online bank

The Tax Administration will send you the invoice on paper or to your online bank. Skatt øst sends annual vehicle tax bills for the whole country.

What happens if I am late paying the tax?

If you do not pay annual motor vehicle tax by the payment deadline for any reason, you will have to pay a tax surcharge.

Unpaid demands will be referred to the National Collection Agency, which will collect the amount from the person who owned the vehicle as at 1 January. This means that a compulsory deduction will be made from the previous owner's salary or benefits. The National Collection Agency may also seize assets.

If any taxes remain outstanding by the deadline stated on the reminder, you will be sent a decision concerning the removal of your vehicle's number plates in June. The vehicle's number plates will then be removed during an inspection.

Theft

You must pay annual motor vehicle tax even if your vehicle is stolen in 2016. We will automatically refund the tax in the first half of 2017 for the period during which the vehicle was stolen if you reported the theft to the police. You will not receive a refund if the vehicle is recovered within 30 days after it was reported to the police as being stolen. The refund will be paid to the person who was the registered owner of the vehicle at the time it was reported as being stolen.
